Richfield council approves emergency electricity contract and unanimously authorizes settlement with Morgan Miller
Summary
At its April 7 meeting the council suspended readings and unanimously adopted Resolution 27‑2026 to authorize an electricity supply agreement (not to exceed $0.065/kWh) and adopted Resolution 28‑2026 directing the mayor and finance director to enter a settlement with Morgan Miller; the settlement amount was not disclosed in the meeting record.
Richfield Village Council on April 7 voted unanimously to adopt two emergency resolutions after suspending the second and third readings.
Resolution 27‑2026 authorizes the mayor and finance director to enter into an agreement for the supply of generated electricity for village accounts with a not‑to‑exceed rate of $0.065 per kilowatt‑hour and a term up to 36 months. Finance Director Turk said the village would work with North Shore Energy consultants to solicit competitive rates; the village’s current supplier, Constellation, is providing a 36‑month rate of 5.545 cents per kWh through May 17, 2026.
Council also added Resolution 28‑2026 to the agenda and unanimously adopted it. Resolution 28 authorizes and directs the mayor and finance director to enter into a settlement with Morgan Miller and was passed as an emergency; the transcript does not specify settlement terms or amounts.
Both votes passed on unanimous roll calls. Council members said the short‑term procurement window for electricity rates often requires quick authorization because supplier quotes typically remain valid for a short time. No additional details about the Morgan Miller settlement were provided in the meeting minutes recorded in the transcript.
